    It's insane how long FNAF has been alive, really hope it still got a long life left.

      It started as a fun kinda interesting story. Then Scott saw he could make hella bank, and just made more, more and even more. Just boring and stupid explanations to something that started interesting. Just a mess at this point. A real shame the intriguing lore was ruined by greed. And the fact that MatPat makes even more money off of his FNAF themed videos is a testament to the fact that the series was going down the drain. Just a weird money grab since year 3.

    I honestly don't care at all if these videos are accurate or correct theory wise, I am having SO much fun listening to the story, remembering highlight moments throughout the long history of FNAF, and getting excited for what else is to come. I hope matpat doesn't feel bad at all if the theory isn't 100% because regardless I'm so happy these videos are being put out and I have fun videos I can go back and rewatch whenever I want to remember the story. I'm so grateful to mat for dedication to this game and his fans and this tedious difficult storyline. Thank you!

    • @Volair
      @Volair Рік тому +99

      Absolutely the right take. These are, as stated in every video, "just a theory". When you present a theory, you should present it as if it's correct. This is to present the idea in full, of what could possibly be the right answer (but being stated as a theory immediately makes it clear that it's ultimately best guesses with evidence and logic applied). Books and movies have done this for ages in cautionary tales (think 1984, Fahrenheit 451, etc). These are looks into a future that could have possibly been, or at least aspects of one such future.

    this gave me chills. Afton’s logic of “my son died, my daughter died…so Henry’s daughter must die too” is so nightmarish and expertly represents Afton’s descent into madness. never mind the fact that it was his own other son (and by extension, him, since he made Michael so bitter about being a permanent babysitter) that caused the death of the Crying Child. poor Charlie and Henry.

That doesn’t make any sense… Has he always had the objective of killing kids or was it gonna be used for another thing? Like storing stuff (which doesn’t make a lot of sense but…)?

What if Henry's daughter Charlotte was killed by an animatronic Henry himself had worked on? An animatronic that Afton had secretly turned into a deathtrap? A deathtrap that unfortunately went off on Afton's daughter instead, by accident?

Maybe Kassidy was the first one he tortured, but he stopped torturing kids when she started haunting him because he didn't want more spirits as angry as her

    I like the theory about Cassidy because everyone really was wondering why she just happened to be the ONE he shouldn't have killed. Thinking that it had nothing to do with Cassidy being a special child, it's just that her death was so violent and probably so much more painful that she couldn't let it go.

He is basically actually bringing in the compelling of what FNAF basically was a horror game franchise about darkness and tragedy of your childhood. And seeing MatPat starting to bring back those memories really gives us appreciation.

    The Crying Child’s death being William’s motive for murder has always seemed right for me. Story-wise, making William a serial killer out to get revenge on Henry and Fazbear Entertainment for creating the dangerous springlock suits that killed his son by shutting down everything to do with them is the perfect motivation for him and it explains why he keeps coming back. He will not rest until everything to do with the franchise is gone

    In all honestly, this version of the timeline actually makes sense. The fact that Michael actually draws a picture of Nightmare Fredbear in the Logbook makes me think that we weren't wrong about Michael being the one we play in Fnaf 4 (but not the kid who gets bitten). The flowers and the IV could be him either remembering where his brother is and *who* put him there, and it makes even more sense if the Nightmares are hallucinations rather than an actual nightmare. I believe in the Fnaf books when they talk about the illusion discs, they mention sometimes feeling almost dazed or confused, meaning having actual hallucinations that weren't created by Afton more plausible. Michael would also probably be really tired staying up that late (and he probably would be up in the day too), and more tired the more it all went on, making it even more likely to have those hallucinations too.

      the fredbear springlock failure thing retiring the springlock suits sounds like nonsense still
      My theory is that there was a springlock failure and the employee followed the instructions to quickly shimmy to the safe room, however the crying child might have been locked in there by Michael and got to witness it
      Some things seen in the shadows are easily misunderstood in the eyes of a child. He thought that the employee had been eaten by the animatronic leaving him with a phobia of getting close to them
      although Henry (who was managing Freddys) was more safety conscious retiring the springlock suits there right away and rolling out some out of place temp suits until regular animatronics could be built. To William such immersion breaking was out of the question (I mean hell it was company policy to go to the safe rooms to bleed out just so the kids wouldn't have their experience ruined) and besides the springlock suits were integral to the charm of fredbears so he kept them
      the stomach mouth is literally just children's imaginations about the joint line between the upper and lower torso pieces of the suit.

    Hi Mat, your timeline is great I love it and, while rewatching this part, I might have found the way to explain why Elizabeth's death come after her brother's :
    Remember that in The Silver Eyes we are told that Michael Brooks died in the pizzeria ? Well maybe it was an accident with the springlock suit and it could be what the crying child have seen and makes him fear the animatronics and why William wants to keep him away from them. After all, Michael's death happened, according to the book, 10 years before the current events of the book so in 1983.
    Even if the book is probably 90% not canon this could fit in the story of the games. Maybe this accident was not report in the game (in any way) and is not refering to the crying child but happened the same year just before.
    Regarding Elizabeth missing in her room maybe it could be explained simply because she was with her mother. After all William's wife leave him at this point, according to your timeline, but she still probably want to stay with her children.
    I know it's probably a little bit late to come back to this but I hope I'm not doing mistakes and you could find it helpful if you'll read the comment.
    Anyway great job with the theory you are always the best. I hope we could solve FNAF one day, maybe 😂.

    I’ve always been (and still am) really upset about the fact that “the one you should not have killed” is Cassidy, some random child that William murdered, but I liked that you took things like how Cassidy may have died as reasons why they are different from the rest.
    Edit: guys there is no actual proof that what mat said about the murdering of the children is actually how it happened except the fact that Chica was the first one to get a kid stuffed into it. What I’m trying to say is that there hasn’t been any defining features that make Cassidy different than any of the other kids. Sure Cassidy was the one to torture William but why them in particular? So although there is no solid proof that Cassidy was killed this way, I do still like it cause it gives a more valid reason why Cassidy would later on do the things like keeping William alive to forever torment him for what he’s done.

    I personally think that Cassidy had a different, more violent death than all the others. All the kids were stuffed into suits, but it was always so weird that Cassidy was the more bitter one than all of them. If they were all stuffed, why was she more relentless than them all? I think that because she was stuffed into FredBear, she was springlocked. Calling Springlock deaths extremely painful is a an understatement. William experienced that amount of pain for a solid 5 minutes. Imagine a child experiencing that amount of pain for a solid 5 minutes. That would make any child vengeful and relentless. Even more that all of the others.

      Matt said ''william let himself go too far'' after the deaths of the first 4. Cassidy ''had a bag put over their head, was hit with a shovel to the head, and then dragged into William's car who obviously killed them''. That's why Cassidy has so much more built-up revenge against Afton as their death was the most bloody, brutal and painful.
      Also, i don't know if Cassidy is a girl or boy so that's why i said they/them.

    i've been thinking about the "don't you remember what you saw?" thing, and what makes most sense to me is the kid saw a spring lock failure up close, and was traumatized by it. William knew the spring lock suits were dangerous, so he tried to scare his kids away from the suits to prevent accidents (which didn't work), even encouraging his eldest son to bully the youngest and strengthen the fear.

    One thing I want to mention is that in FNAF 4, we only ever see William speaking to the crying child through the plush, which would most likely distort his voice. He might even have used additional distortion so TCC wouldn't recognize his voice, like that one Fazbear Frights story. And what we see at the end with "I will put you back together" could be a different shade because he's speaking to TCC in person. His voice would sound different when not going through an 80s walkie-talkie.
